Smoker&#39;s cabinet



W. HORVATH SMOKERS CABINET INVENTOR ATTORNEY Filed Feb. 27. 1928 Sept.

Patented Sept. 17, 1929 UNITED STATES WENDEL HORVATH, or CLEVELAND, orilo SMOKEBS CABINET This invention relates to tobacco smokers appliances.

The general object of the inventionis to provide a cabinet that is primarily designed for housing tobacco, cigars and the like and includes spring reel controlled electric igniting devices that are held in normal position and caused to be returned thereto by the spring reels after being manually pulled to a position for conveniently lighting a pipe,

cigar or cigarette thereby.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character and purpose above set forth, that is neat in appearance, simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and efficient in operation and service. This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front view of the device forming the subject matter of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken vertically through the cabinet as shown and showin parts in elevation.

Figure?) is a sectional view taken approximately on line 33 of Figure 2, looking 1n the direction of the arrows.

Figure 4 is a diagrammatic view of the circuit employed for the lighters.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 55 of Figure 2, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the reference numeral 1 indicates the body of the cabinet which as shown is of fancy design and includes legs 2 having their upper portions secured to the body in a manner to support the same in elevated position as best shown in Figure 1 of the drawings. The body includes a door 3 whereby access may be had to the interior thereof, and rising from the PATENT FFICE p securedtheretois a handle 1 whereby h the cabinet may be moved, from place to place.

Thetop of the cabinet is provided with openings 5 which have slidably mounted therein sleeves 6 having knurled collars 7 and arranged -in the sleeves are heating coils 8 arranged in electrical connection with a transformer 9 through the instrumentality of conductors 10. The transformer is in connection witha suitable source of electrical energy by conductorsll' and a switch 12 is disposed in one of these conductors to control the current to the transformer as will be apparent.

Extending inwardly in confronting rela-, tion with respect to each other and secured to'the side walls of the body 1 are arms 13 arranged inspaced parallel pairs and between each pair of arms isjourna'led a-reel 14 having. trained thereabout one ofthe conductors 10 which passes through a collar formed with the reels and this collar also acts as-abeare ing for the reel and is received in one'of the arms 13. for thatpurpose. Extending from the other arm and terminating within its reel is a strip 15 having secured thereto one end of a coil spring 16 while the opposite end of the coil spring is secured to one of the sides of the reel, with the result the reels are spring controlled and tend to retain the conductors 10 wound thereabout as best shown in Figure 3 of the drawings.

Secured to each of the side walls of the body and arranged to overlie the reels are right angle brackets 17 having openings formed therein with a collar 18 extending from the openings to act as a guide for the conductors 10. Rising from the brackets at an outward inclination therefrom are uprights 19 having supporting flange members 20 secured thereto and which slidably accommodate a container 21 of box like formation for the purpose of receiving tobacco, cigarettes, cigars and the like.

From the above description and disclosure of the drawings, it will be obvious that I have provided a cabinet for housing smoking material and the lighters may be pulled from their positions as shown'in Figure 2, so that they can be arranged in a convenient posi- (ill tion for lighting purposes. When the lighters are released, the reels will wind the conductors 10 thereabout and cause the lighters to assume their position as shown in Figure 2.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In a device of the character described, a smokers cabinet, a body included in said cabinet,-legsfor said body,v a handle rising from the top of said body, angle brackets secured to the sides-of the cabinet, outwardly inclineduprights rising from the brackets, flanged memberssecured t0 and supported by the uprights, and a container slida'bly mounted on the flanged members and being spaced from the sides and bottom of the body.

2111 a device of the character described, a smokers cabinet,'a body included in said cabinet, legs for said body, a handle rising from the top of the body, angle brackets :secured to the-sides of the cabinet, said top having openings, a collar formed Witheach angle bracket-and aligned Withopenings therein as well as the openings of the top, outwardly inclined uprights rising from the brackets, flanged members secured to and supported by said-uprights, and a container slida'bly mounted on the flanged members and being spaced from the sides and bottom of the body;

Iii-testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

WENDEL HORVATH.
